Gawrsh, folks — if there's ONE thing to grab today, it's this: Animal Kingdom's basically shut down, with ten of seventeen attractions closed, from Kilimanjaro Safaris to Avatar Flight of Passage. Skip it and saddle over to Magic Kingdom, which is the best bet in the resort right now — all its headliners are running and Halloween season is officially live, so the spooky decor is gorgeous. TRON Lightcycle/Run is the resort's #1 wait at 70 minutes, so rope drop it first thing while your coffee's still hot. After that, grab a Dole Whip and waddle toward Fantasyland. A-hyuck! It's a scorcher at 100°F, so hydrate like crazy and pack an umbrella — a storm's likely to roll in after eight tonight.
